Basically the guy is talking about the designs for the men and their equipment.

Nice.

Good channel. Yeah there is a ton of info, but I really wish we at least got confirmation on which factions would be in the game. I'll predict these.

Entente Powers

United States
United Kingdom
Italy

Central Powers

Germany
Ottoman Empire
Austria-Hungary

Of course that's all speculation. France could just as easily be in there to make it 4 for the allies, which would make Belgium a player in the Central, but idk. I don't know if they'd throw in France AND the US since they both fought on the same front (western), along with Great Britain. So yeah. Maybe? Who knows. Russia could just as easily be thrown into the fray.

I'd be kind of surprised if they left out the Russkies in favour of the Italians for the Entente

The use of Seven Nation Army in the trailer makes me hopeful we'll actually get seven factions.

In this case, I'd add russia to your list.

I don't really understand why there needs to be an equal number of factions on each side.

I would imagine for the diverse sections of the maps, along with different weapons/skins. It'd be kinda odd if it was 6v2, ya know?

I hate the fact they used another dubby dubstep song for BF. I pray the actual music in game and the main theme is actually a rendition of the classic Battlefield song.

And yeah, Russia might be in. I wish we could have more info.

Aren't the multiplayer games going to have a 1:1 ratio of players anyway?

Also, if I recall, the campaign for battlefield 4 had the Russians and the Chinese up against the Americans.

I always find it really surreal to think that the Ottoman Empire was involved in WWI.

I mean, it's a group I always think about as existing around the 1500's and pretty much just fading out from there on, but they were a real force for a long time, I guess.

I feel the same way in thinking the Danes, a Viking faction, still exist in modern day times, and the Romans lasted around up until the 1500's. An empire that was quite literally over a thousand years old is insane. Granted it wasn't the Western Romans we come to associate it with, but instead the Byzantines (why they gave them that name because of one single city that used to be named Byzantium is beyond me, considering they themselves thought themselves as Romans), but yeah. Eastern Romans and all that.

Also Ottomans are shit. Turks were never anything good except for Suleiman the Great.
